Raekwon’s The Emperor’s New Clothes is a sharp return to form, showcasing the Wu-Tang veteran’s lyrical precision and timeless street wisdom. The new album (his 8th solo album) was produced by Swizz Beatz, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Nottz, and Frank G. & RoadsArt with features by Nas, Wu-Tang's Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and Inspectah Deck as well as Griselda's Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, and Westside Gunn. Marsha Ambrosius and Stacy Barthe provide smooth, soulful hooks, adding emotional layers to the hard-edged verses. The LP is a reminder of Raekwon’s enduring power as a lyricist and curator. A veteran artist showing that mastery doesn’t need excess. The Emperor’s New Clothes is regal, streetwise, and sharply tailored for those who value craft. The album is also part of Mass Appeal’s Legend Has It series (props to Nas) and captures the raw spirit of New York at its finest. Listen to Rae's The Emperor's New Clothes streaming below...
